I went for the risky 1-0 to Tottenham. No idea what's going to happen, but I see I'm the only person who went with that score so could do me well if it comes in. I can see it being a very tight game and there only being one goal between them, but could go either way.

Anyone still has a shot at winning and don't forget about the consolation prizes. There's barely 20 points between the bottom and very top.

Wow, just goes to show how quickly you can turn things around. To all the people who were already talking about giving up - 1 or 2 good weeks is all you need to claim first place.

People are foolish who throw in the towel or even just complain at such an early stage. One good week could take you straight to the top and nobody really gets consistently great result week after week no matter how good you think you are at predicting scores. everyone can have a bad patch of lucky streak. Just do your best and hope for the best.

The difference as in when you will know you won't have a possibility to fight for a top 5 prize last year happened between 15 and 20 week so you have still at least 12 more weeks to go before throwing the towel. That is indeed not a nice move.

Can't believe Lukaku missed that open goal, this will be an interesting game

I am not even aiming for top 15 in the first half of the season. You know it is much easier to get to the first place than to hold it once you get there My aim is to be close enough to the top so I can win it in last few weeks of the season.

I have 2:1 for Spurs for tonight's game in predictor and Spurs x2 on my bookie ticket so looking good so far. Only one late goal from UTD missing for perfect score.

[BitcoinSupremo]

An embarrasing lose for Man.Utd. I believe it is time for Mou to hit the sack and to leave Man.Utd, I strongly believe his time here has expired and cannot bring any more good to the club. The way they played tonight especially in the second half was catastrophic.

Today we have class of Tottenham and very poor effort from Red Devils its never been good for them they need to start think about this because if they are not going to done any priority for this then surely they are going down and out like Arsenal Mou is never been good here because until now no one understand his strategy what he want to do hopefully they will try to comeback in next matches until they are too late.

Mou are getting sacked in the morning . If to talk seriously, I highly doubt that MU board will make decision to sack him in such early phase of season.
I predicted Spurs win 2:1, but I'm really surprised about result. Spurs just dominated in second half.
Very bad week in predictor for me, from 4th to 8th position

See you in the CL pool guys.  I'll drop by from time to time for the friendly banter.

Anybody could win it buddy. You get 3 points for an exact score so realistically a couple of weeks in a row getting 2 - 4 exact scores would probably put you in the top 5.

I MIGHT give the CL pool a miss, not as fun for me if I’m in loads of different pools.

Indeed, I went from being ranked 20 before this round to jumping up to 4th, and I didn't do that well haha. Just gotta match well against others and get a lucky few 3 pointers

From 20th to 4th, seriously? That is some recovery bro

Scored 11.5 points so far, and with MU winning this one 2-1 I'll have scored 14.5 points this round

Heh...  Ok.  I'll give it another go.  It's only week 4 into the season anyway...  Must be Mou's mood rubbing on me.  Lmao.

But is it just me or does anybody else think Lukaku is over priced and over rated?  Seriously.  Mou should have started Sanchez up front instead or Rash with the more high pressing, attacking style Mou took.

I think it will be a while before they sack him yet. Give him chance. Glad I got a point from the game, but that third goal cost me half a point, which all add up when you're at the top.

I don't. He's a quality player, but I just don't think he's a good fit for United, and said it before he even moved there. Lukaku at Everton is a much different beast than at United. I'm sure he'll end up moving on.

This week was the worst, even before I had put the score 0-2 for Spurs, but before the match began I changed it to a 1-1 draw. Lol!
Mou really can't be trusted anymore, even I'm not sure Mou can lift Man.Utd achievements after Mou is fired from Chelsea. I'm sure Mou will be fired this season, if there are no more significant developments in the club.

[leea-1334]

Amazing comeback to climb 18 places to unyil and win this week's top spot! And at 19.5 points this means he is the highest weekly spot collector,,, so now somebody has to beat that with 20 points! And now the gap from bottom to top is 25 points so we can see it is getting wider. This is more exciting. I also managed to climb up a few spots. So watch out, friends, I am getting better.

So, a few more games before 2 weeks of break is coming up, good luck all of you,,,

Yup, he's good and all but he doesn't look like he's a 'top 4' striker.  Meaning he's awesome for midtable clubs like Everton, but when it comes to the demands of a club like United, it seems like he can't hack it.

Agreed. He was playing better in the world cup, scoring 4 goals, but anyone would play better and score more goals with both Hazard and KDB behind you feeding balls in.

[tokeweed]

^  So prolly Pogba and whoever at the midfield should do a better job on feeding balls to Lukaku then?  Pogba is another no show at match day at times.  He's either inconsistent or Mou is using him the wrong way...  Shouldn't he be played at AM?  What was his usual position at Juve?

[Welsh]

Well, Man Utd are having a rough time aren't they? Probably fucked some peoples predictions up. I haven't watched them personally, but I'm quite enjoying their run of form as of late. Lets hope it continues

Oh, and I keep saying this, but I really need to find the time to fill in the next few months, because I'll be away soon.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Action is back on the Premier League this week again, difficult games this week, pretty unpredictable too, all my predictions, well almost all, I have over 3.5 goals as final results. I was getting bored so the EPL action will give us a boost to our moods.

If you had said at the start of the season "Pick 4 teams that would be joint top after 3 weeks", how many of you would have included Watford in your selections?

Its early doors yet, and they've had a fairly easy fixture list. Should all change tomorrow when they come up against Tottenham, and then the following round they have Man Utd. Although, I would expect them to lose again Spurs they might actually beat Man Utd the way they are playing right now.

(I may of forgot to select picks last week   just realized No Script Suite stops the saving of results )

[hilariousetc]

Anyone think Liverpool could struggle at Leicester today? Not sure whether to go for a risky one or just back Liverpool to win. I#ll wait to see what the line-ups are like before I commit though. Not sure if Vardy's back yet and that will make a huge difference.

Luck of the draw really, though they have been playing well. I don't think they'll stay there for long though. Tomorrow's game against spurs will be the real test for them. If they can get at least point out of that game then there's no telling where they could go.

Wondered why you didn't seem to be making them.

Vardy is not playing for sure. I thought he was suspended for few matches but now the line ups are available so it is a moot point. I was thinking between both to score and over 2.5 but after seeing Lpool line up i went with win for Lpool. They have chosen rather defensive midfielders so I am thinking something like 0:2 for Pool.
